Capitolius: the mount Capitolius was the heart of ancient Rome. On this mount were erected the famous temple of Jupiter Capitolius. Rome was placed by its founders Romulus and Remus, the descendents of Aeneas, under the protection of the father of all gods, Jupiter. The triumph of all Roman heros was celebrated in this temple!

Prodrome legions: (Greek word “prodromos” – πρόδρομος): the legions which run first in the battle.

One of my friends asks me the question:

Why Ovid was exiled?

First (official) reason: “Art to like love”, Ovid’s book of seduction begun very famous in Rome. It attracts him Augustus's lightning, which, in the year 8 AD, exiled the Poet in a city of current Rumania: I think however that the reasons of his disgrace were more political and religious.

Second (non official) reason: Ovid wrote a bed verses against the Augustus’s unique daughter Julia which was known as deprave person. The re was a rumour that he was, for some time, her lover.
